General information

REFLEXOLOGY is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Reflexology is the unique method of using the thumb and fingers to stimulate these reflexes to help address many health problems in a natural way. Reflexology is a distinctive modality in the health field and should not be compared to massage.

REFLEXOLOGY does promote better health and well being. It does not treat or diagnose any specific illness. Doctors agree that over 75% of our health problems can be linked to nervous tension and stress. Reflexology improves nerve and blood supply and helps nature to normalize the body. Thus it can be effective, for example, in increasing energy and stamina, boosting the immune functions, improving digestion and elimination and improving sleep. Reflexology cannot harm a system, it simply brings it back into balance.

CHAMPISSAGE is a simple, safe and highly beneficial therapy which has been popular throughout the Indian sub-continent for more than 1,000 years. It entails a gentle massage of the scalp, face, neck and shoulders which soothes, comforts and rebalances the flow of energy to produce a feeling of peace and tranquility.

CHAMPISSAGE works on the physical, mental and subtle levels. Some physical benefits are relief from chronic neck and shoulder stiffness as well as help in alleviating tension headaches, eye strain, sinusitis, congestion, insomnia and disturbed sleep. Some mental benefits are a sense of calmness, release of anxiety, clearer thinking and relief from mental tiredness and anxiety. On the subtle or more energetic levels, Champissage helps release stagnant energy and provide general energetic healing.
